Get started for freeWe wish to coat flat glass (n = 1.50) with a transparent material (n = 1.25) so that reflection of light at wavelength 600 nm is eliminated by interference. What minimum thickness can the coating have to do this?
Find the slit separation of a double-slit arrangement that will produce interference fringesapart on a distant screen when the light has wavelength.
In Fig. 35-39, two isotropic point sources S1 and S2 emit light in phase at wavelength and at the same amplitude. The sources are separated by distance . They lie on an axis that is parallel to an x axis, which runs along a viewing screen at distance . The origin lies on the perpendicular bisector between the sources. The figure shows two rays reaching point P on the screen, at position. (a) At what value of do the rays have the minimum possible phase difference? (b) What multiple of gives that minimum phase difference? (c) At what value ofdo the rays have the maximum possible phase difference? What multiple of gives (d) that maximum phase difference and (e) the phase difference when ? (f) When , is the resulting intensity at point P maximum, minimum, intermediate but closer to maximum, or intermediate but closer to minimum?
In Fig. 35-45, a broad beam of light of wavelength 620 nm is sent directly downward through the top plate of a pair of glass plates touching at the left end. The air between the plates acts as a thin film, and an interference pattern can be seen from above the plates. Initially, a dark fringe lies at the left end, a bright fringe lies at the right end, and nine dark fringes lie between those two end fringes. The plates are then very gradually squeezed together at a constant rate to decrease the angle between them. As a result, the fringe at the right side changes between being bright to being dark every 15.0 s.
(a) At what rate is the spacing between the plates at the right end being changed?
(b) By how much has the spacing there changed when both left and right ends have a dark fringe and there are five dark fringes between them?
A disabled tanker leaks kerosene into the Persian Gulf, creating a large slick on top of the water). (a) If you are looking straight down from an airplane, while the Sun is overhead, at a region of the slick where its thickness is, for which wavelength(s) of visible light is the reflection brightest because of constructive interference? (b) If you are scuba diving directly under this same region of the slick, for which wavelength(s) of visible light is the transmitted intensity strongest?
